MPAA Gives ‘District 9’ an ‘R’ Rating!


Best..News..Ever!

The posters are cool, the viral videos have and have already inspired excitement to see the film, and now the MPAA has given the Neil Blomkamp directed, Peter Jackson produced Sci-Fi film ‘District 9’ a glorious ‘R’ rating!

We had assumed that it would naturally get a PG-13 rating (like most films these days) but apparently the gritty viral videos and trailers haven’t shown us anything yet and it’s probably safe to assume that the film makers haven’t cut out a ton of “good stuff” to appease the studio execs if it has garnered an ‘R’ rating {for bloody violence and pervasive language}.

While that alone doesn’t gurantee the film will be great (or even good), it does inspire some confidence that it’s not going to be the same old, sugar coated nonsense that the Sci-Fi Fans have been subjected to in recent memory.

What do you think, are you more excited about District 9 because of it’s ‘R’ rating? Let us know in the comments below!
